Dusty, pardon me as I know this isn't exactly Choctaw history and culture, but I thought you might let it through this once since CHAHTA-L seems recently to be concerned with viruses. Barbara, all the questions you just asked are answered by installing Norton Anti Virus (NAV) Version 2001. NAV identifies viruses as such, will give you a complete description of the virus if you wish and much more. I have run NAV for several years now, have received probably fifty or sixty viruses of the sort the list is receiving and it stopped every one of them. Once NAV detects a virus inside an incoming email or attached to an incoming email, it quarantines the virus temporarily and asks you what you want to do with it. The options are easy, I usually just instruct NAV to destroy it after which I am back in business. The nice thing about NAV is "peace of mind." You can find out more about NAV by surfing over to http://www.symantec.com/ . Any of the software sales web sites or your local PC store will sell it to you for less than you can buy it for at the Symantec site.

Thanks Dennis...I do have Norton virus protection, but figured Dusty didn't since he said for people to not open attachments from him....I keep mine updated too, and so far so good... Thanks again...
